Manufacturer Description:
Bright, broad-cut Virginia and darker heat-fermented Ready Rubbed portions in equal parts, rounded off with a good portion of Latakia, give a full-bodied but soft pipe tobacco with a strong taste typical of English embossing.
Characterisation:
The Mountain Village Tobaccos Evening Standard comes in a round tin which cover sheet is somewhat wavy when opening, which usually means a damp tobacco, but this is not the case here. The paper seems to have merely absorbed a production-related excess of moisture, so that the tobacco is now very well conditioned. The Mountain Village Tobaccos Evening Standard is a dark- to black-brown Mixture with finely rubbed portions of Ready Rubbed. It smells like Scotch Whisky but does not contain any flavor.
Plugging:
The Mountain Village Tobaccos Evening Standard is easy to plug, despite the Ready Rubbed, because these are very fine. Keeping the tobacco loose down in the pipe and pressing it down getting upwards, then there is no problem at all.
Light up:
Also the lighting of the Mountain Village Tobaccos Evening Standard is straightforward. A flame, possibly smoothing the surface with the tamper, then the tobacco burns quiet until the end of the filling.
Smoking properties:
The Mountain Village Tobaccos Evening Standard can be recognized as strong tobacco and also its nicotine content is more strong, than medium. The contained Latakia is of the spicy-tart variety. If the smoke is breathed out through the nose, the floral incense notes of the oriental tobacco are also felt. The smoky aromas are predominant on the face, but if the tobacco is kept cool, there is also a nutty, light sweetness. Like the plugging and igniting, the burning is completely uncomplicated, so that in the end only fine, pale ash and practically no condensation remain in the pipe.
Redolency:
The Mountain Village Tobaccos Evening Standard is a tart and vigorous, as can be expected from a Latakia-containing tobacco, which is why it is recommended for soloists or groups of connoisseurs. Even in the fresh air, the Mountain Village Tobaccos Evening Standard is not too light.
Conclusion:
The Mountain Village Tobaccos Evening Standard is a dark to black-brown Mixture with finely rubbed Ready Rubbed portions, which is due to its strong aromas and the rather high nicotine content is not aimed at beginners. Also the flavors are smoky and the Latakia is accompanied by a tart spiciness, while attentive smoking it is accompanied by a nutty-gentle sweetness. However, in the preparation and smoking process it is so uncomplicated that the Mountain Village Tobaccos Evening Standard is suitable for more experienced Latakia lovers as an all-day smoke.
